Filtersafe revolutionizes desalination pre-treatment with a self-cleaning filtration system, eliminating the need for disposable cartridge filters and achieving significant cost and environmental benefits.

Filtersafe, a leading innovator in water filtration technology, today announced the submission of a patent for its revolutionary desalination solution. This patent covers a system that utilizes automatically maintained screen filters, eliminating the need for disposable cartridge filters typically used in pre-treatment processes for reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants.

The Problem: Costly and Inefficient Disposable Filters

Desalination is a critical process for turning seawater into freshwater for drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes. However, traditional pre-treatment processes rely on disposable cartridge filters to remove particles before the water enters the RO membranes. These filters require has high energy demand due to head loss and require frequent replacement, leading to high operational costs and creating a significant environmental burden from discarded cartridges.

The Filtersafe Solution: Self-Cleaning and Sustainable

Filtersafe’s patent-pending desalination solution addresses these challenges with a self-cleaning filtration system. The system utilizes screen filters with a filtration down to 12 microns that automatically clean themselves using a fraction of the filtered water. This eliminates the need for disposable cartridges, resulting in:

Reduced operational costs: Significantly lower energy demands and filter maintenance expenses.
Environmental benefits: Minimized waste generation from discarded cartridges, and lower carbon footprint.
Improved efficiency: Continuous filtration without downtime for filter changes.
Extended filter life: Durable screen filters designed to last for years instead of months.
Proven Performance and Benefits

Independent testing has demonstrated the effectiveness of the Filtersafe desalination solution. The system has been shown to:

• Maintain a consistently low differential pressure across the filter.
• Achieve a high filtrate recovery ratio, minimizing water waste.
• Effectively remove particles exceeding the size specified by the screen filter.
• A Sustainable Future for Desalination

“We are thrilled to announce the filing of our latest patent, which represents a major milestone in our mission to revolutionize water filtration technology,” said Filtersafe CEO, Etai Dagan. “This innovative reverse osmosis screening device embodies our commitment to providing sustainable and efficient solutions for the desalination industry. By significantly enhancing the protection and performance of RO membranes, our new system not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to the longevity and reliability of water treatment facilities. We are confident that this breakthrough will set a new standard in the industry and reinforce Filtersafe’s position as a leader in advanced filtration solutions.”
